Nice application, but please add penalty time – ChessClock Review

The application works well. Both the analog and digital interfaces look fine, although they could use slightly larger displays. It's easy to change the time limits, and it's nice to have a game timer in my pocket all the time. However, I really hope that the developer adds an option to have the timers continue to run after time has expired. In chess it doesn't matter, but scored games, like Scrabble have point penalties for every minute over, not an automatic loss. That feature would make the clock usable in a greater variety of games, and it seems like it would be simple to implement. Otherwise, nice app at a nice price. __________________ UPDATE ADDED SINCE ORIGINAL REVIEW I had been using the digital timer almost exclusively, but the analog timer DOES have the feature I sought. I'd still like it implemented for the digital timer, but Scrabble (and other games) players can use this timer and keep track of penalty time.
